This week we’re joined by guest co-host George to discuss Oppenheimer (2023), Christopher Nolan’s three-hour portrait of J. Robert Oppenheimer: theoretical physicist, Manhattan Project director, father of the atomic bomb.

We get into Cillian Murphy’s performance, whether Nolan knows what to do with women, the complicated reasons for dropping the bomb on Japan, and Lewis Strauss’s petty vendetta. Plus: soup in a meeting.
